Clean Eating Granola Bars (4 Ingredients)

September 2, 2015 by Bekah 4 Comments

Clean Eating Granola Bars

One of my favorite treats ever is a really good oatmeal cookie. I will be happy substituting with a really yummy chewy granola bar.  I have made our Homemade Granola Bar recipe many many times and I love it!  Since brown sugar and butter really aren’t part of the cleaning eating diet, I made it my mission to alter this recipe in yummy any healthy ways.

Clean Eating Homemade Granola Bars

  • 2 cups of quick oats
  • 1/2 cup of honey
  • 1/4 cup of maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup of coconut oil
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
  2. Combine all 4 ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix them REALLY well.
  3. Place a piece of parchment paper onto a baking sheet and pour the mixture over the middle of it.
  4. Spread it out until it’s a fairly even 1/2 inch thickness.  I also used my hands to form it into a large square.
  5. Bake for about 10-15 minutes. Baking time will depend on baking sheet, oven, and the thickness of the granola.
  6. You will know it’s done because it will be a nice golden color.  The edges might be a little dark but that’s ok because toasted oats taste good.
  7. After it completely cools, you can cut it into bars but I prefer to break it up into granola pieces.

*Tip:  More oats and less liquid gives you a crunchy texture.  More liquids means a chewier texture.  

Variations:  yummy additions before baking

  • A pinch of sea salt gives you a sweet/salty combo
  • Trying adding a little cinnamon and vanilla to the mix.  I haven’t tried that but I will next time.
  • Add chopped almonds, peanuts, or pecans.
  • Stir a couple Tablespoons of peanut butter into the granola
  • Add a couple Tablespoons of chocolate chips
  • Or try some raisins, dried cranberries, or dried cherries
  • Stir in some unsweetened coconut

You can add a few of these or a combination to customize however you would like to.

    Would this count as 1 yellow container? or do I need to include something else due to the honey, coconut oil and maple syrup?
